Below is a summary of some of the principal risks of investing in the Fund. For a more complete discussion of the risks of investing in the Fund, see “Principal Risks of the Fund” in the Fund’s prospectus. Shareholders should consider carefully the following principal risks before investing in the Fund: </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight:bold">Market Risk:</span> The Fund may be materially adversely affected by market, economic and political conditions and natural and man-made disasters, including pandemics, wars and supply chain disruptions, globally and in the jurisdictions and sectors in which the Fund invests. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight:bold">Credit Risk:</span> One of the fundamental risks associated with the Fund’s investments is credit risk, which is the risk that an issuer will be unable to make principal and interest payments on its outstanding debt obligations when due. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight:bold">Interest Rate Risk:</span> The values of the Fund’s investments fluctuate in response to movements in interest rates. If rates rise, the values of debt securities generally fall. The longer the average duration of the Fund’s investment portfolio, the greater the change in value. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight:bold">Asset-Backed Securities Risk:</span> Asset-backed exposures are generally not insured or guaranteed by the related sponsor or any other entity and therefore, if the assets or sources of funds available to the issuer are insufficient to pay those outstanding liabilities, the Fund will incur losses. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight:bold">Private Credit Risk:</span> Because the private credit investments pursued by the Fund are not typically registered under the federal securities laws like stocks and bonds, investors in loans have less protection against improper practices than investors in registered securities. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight:bold">Valuation Risk:</span> Given the substantial investment by the Fund in private securities, there is no reliable liquid market available for the purposes of valuing the majority of the Fund’s investments. There can be no guarantee that the basis of calculation of the value of the Fund’s investments used in the valuation process will reflect the actual value on realization of those investments. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight:bold">Counterparty Risk:</span> The Fund is exposed to the risk that third parties that may owe the Fund, or its issuers, money, securities or other assets will not perform their obligations. Certain investments may be exposed to the credit risk of the counterparties with whom the Fund deals. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight:bold">Closed-end Interval Fund — Liquidity Risks:</span> Although the Fund intends to implement a quarterly share repurchase program, there is no guarantee that a shareholder will be able to sell all of the Shares that the shareholder desires to sell. The Fund should therefore be considered to offer limited liquidity. </div><div style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight:bold">Industry Risks:</span> The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in securities and credit instruments associated with real assets, including real estate, infrastructure, digital infrastructure, datacenters, railcar, and aviation, which have historically experienced substantial price volatility. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight:bold">Use of Leverage — Risk of Borrowing by the Fund:</span> The Fund may borrow money, which magnifies the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested, subjects the Fund to certain covenants with which it must comply and may increase the risk of investing with the Fund. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight:bold">Risks Relating to Fund’s RIC Status:</span> To qualify and remain eligible for the special tax treatment accorded to RICs and their shareholders under the Code, the Fund must meet certain source-of-income, asset diversification and annual distribution requirements, and failure to do so could result in the loss of RIC status. </div> <div style="margin-top:6pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight:bold">Market Risk:</span> The Fund may be materially adversely affected by market, economic and political conditions and natural and man-made disasters, including pandemics, wars and supply chain disruptions, globally and in the jurisdictions and sectors in which the Fund invests. </div> <div style="margin-top:6pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight:bold">Credit Risk:</span> One of the fundamental risks associated with the Fund’s investments is credit risk, which is the risk that an issuer will be unable to make principal and interest payments on its outstanding debt obligations when due. </div> <div style="margin-top:6pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight:bold">Interest Rate Risk:</span> The values of the Fund’s investments fluctuate in response to movements in interest rates.
